Ok, so being a single mom is a thing...
My son is my main man. And my relationship with him is everything.
Other than force feeding him, smothering him with love and affection, making him wear sweaters in the winter (yes, even in Florida), raising my voice when he's in danger, and just in general raising my voice at him...because I'm Israeli (which he often resents), every once in a while I'll do something special with him that he can remember later on in his life, other than my apparently loud voice.
So I took him shopping to buy a suite. And we went to a fancy restaurant downtown.
I taught him to pull my chair like a lady, put his jacket on me when I'm cold, and treat me like a lady. It wasn't a challenge - he is a very well mannered American boy, raised by a father with American manners, hence naturally trained to charm.
It was a great experience. And now it's his favorite restaurant and a habit we adopted to add to our routine together.
Really, the best date I ever had with a man that doesn't like listening to me :)
